Just
to put things in perspective: this crew has no
relationship whatsoever with the original LASER, or
LASER 558, (notice the S) that broadcasted on AM from
the ship 'mv communicator' located in international
waters in the North Sea during 1983-1987. But of course
we share some principles, so you will understand when
you read on.
During the early nineties, New Beat was in its last
phase, and a new music phenomenon was about to spread:
HOUSE. As all new music styles, House was adored by the
youngsters, but outcasted by the established government,
national press and radio stations. House was presented
to stimulate young people to take drugs, participate in
acts of violence, and other, more negative aspects of
our society. Just imagine that these people, who now
condemn House, were the same generation that loved 'Rock
and Roll' 20 years earlier!
(Of course, history has proved them wrong, and today
House music has been recognised as the most important
musical revolution of the nineties...)
As a direct result however, DJs and record labels did
not get any airplay on the national media and the
Internet was not really developed yet. At that time
LAZER was started off.
AT first, LAZER was a pirate radio station, playing
non-stop house music in 1991 . Tapes were recorded
during weekend nights in famous clubs and by various top
DJs. Later on they were broadcasted on FM in their
original versions. All mixed, with no real spoken anchor
men.
